Following the temporary lifting of the ban of Rafiki Film on Friday, Kenyans today turned up in large numbers at the Prestige Cinemas to watch the film. Ever since Friday fans were speaking of the traffic that was on the booking lines.
Today, the numbers were overwhelming. Shared videos and images on social media captured the long lines and crowd present at the Presige Cinema.
After today, Kenyans have a few more days left to watch the film and thereafter everyone remains clueless on whether the cinemas will be allowed to screen or not. The reactions are however interesting after fans eventually got to watch the film.
I have gone through the trailer of #Rafiki but have seen nothing sexual or somehow controversial….#rushforoscar.

Still unshaken by the excitement this was sent in response to one of the tweets shared by Kenyans
The debate about homosexuality is bigger than the movie RAFIKI. It’s about our values, family and the future of Kenya. There will be no future unless we start downloading kids from the internet. Family is derived from a union btn two people of the opposite gender.@KimaniNjogu

Wow just wow @wanuri . So much more than a love story. I see the Nairobi I know sounds, sights, people, struggles, – profound social commentary, mob justice, those who think deeper, struggles of parents etc etc. Truly deep. Loved it! #RafikiFilm #rafiki https://t.co/dvb8pADkzj

Just watched Rafiki and I’m wondering why @InfoKfcb were all up in arms. It’s just a good story. ??♂️

Your Comment Here …even rural areas should watch. But remember here at the countryside we are culturally bonded unless civil education first.
